While I gave NBC News credit for breaking the news of astronaut Neil Armstrong’s death, someone at NBCNews.com screwed up big time with this headline, confusing Neil Armstrong and Neil Young:

I’ll never forget his first words, as he stepped on to the surface: “Everyone knows this is nowhere.”

Armstrong died? DAMN! A truly sad day for our country. A brave man takes another “giant leap” into the unknown.
